The Trouble with Expansions

Hum. This is frustrating.

My warrior, Daigeil, is level 70, and has been for a month or two. In that time I've been off him, basically; I do a few instances, I do a few dailies and so on. But what my actual achievements in that time amount to is The Gun (tanks should know what I mean), a shiny purple trinket, a full blue tanking set, and a reasonable PvP set. The trouble is that I'm now caught between two chairs, at the worst possible time.

I have just slightly too little gear to handle heroics or Kara. I have just slightly too good gear for non-heroics to be worthwhile. That means that I -have- to tank heroics with what is, for those instances, shite gear. In normal times, that'd probably be ok; there are usually enough groups looking for tanks and few enough tanks that they'll take just about anyone, so I could get into a group and tank a heroic or two, net myself a purple, maybe, and end up well enough geared to tank heroics properly. But noooo.

Because folks now have pre-WotLK blues (as in ill mood, not rare items >.>) they aren't as interested in doing stuff, and there aren't as many groups running. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to apply to tanks, quite possibly because of TankingTips.com advising tanks to run instances for experience wherever possible. As a result, groups can pick and choose their tanks, because they know another will be along in five minutes, even if they can't find enough DPS. Obviously, I'm unloved as a result.

So all I can do is play my rogue - who's on a dead server - level my hunter - who's on the same server and I cba to level all the time - or level my druid - see second trouble for the hunter. None of these really appeal to me, so I have nought to do on WoW. Bluu.
